When I use said button, does it just send a message to the mod for that area? For example, there is a spammer who just hit a few areas with the same message. The one that I reported happened to be in Shotguns. Is the Shotgun mod the only one that gets the message? I realize that moderators have lives to, and aren't able to watch their inbox 24/7. I want to make sure that the spam is brought to the attention of whatever Admin is online promptly, but not make a nuisance of myself while doing so.

Anything ‘published’ on the web is viewed as intellectual property and, regardless of whether it displays a copyright symbol or not, is therefore copyrighted by the originator. The only exception to this is if there is a “free and unrestricted reuse” statement associated with the work.
In order to protect our members and TFL from possible litigation, all members must abide by the following new rules:
1. Copying and pasting entire articles from another site to TFL is strictly prohibited. The same applies to articles from print or other media, and to posting photographs taken of copyrighted pages or other media.
2. Copyright law provides for “fair use” of portions of a copyrighted work. You can copy no more than a SINGLE paragraph from the article to your post (3 or 4 sentences at most).
3. You must provide a link to the article along with the name of website. For example: ww.xxx.yyy/zzz (The Lower Thumbsuck Daily News).
4. You must provide, in your own words, a brief summary of the article AND your reasons for believing it will be of interest to TFL members. Failure to do so may result in the thread being closed or your post being deleted as a “cut and paste drive by.”
5. Photographs and other images are also copyrighted. "Hotlinking" of images (so that it appears in your message) from other sites is also prohibited unless you own rights to the image. If you wish to share an image, provide a clickable link to it.
Posts that do not follow these new guidelines will be altered or deleted by staff. Members who continue to violate this policy may lose their posting privileges at TFL.
Thank you for your cooperation and your participation in TFL, the leading online forum for firearms enthusiasts.
Report post button?
- Thread starter mgdavis
- Start date
The button sends an email to the mod(s) of the particular sub-forum (e.g. Handguns, Shotguns, General Discusssion, etc.) in which the offending message was posted and also automatically appends links to the post and the thread as well as the name of the member making the report.
In some cases you might get a more rapid response by PMing a staff member who's online rather than hitting the report button.
BTW, Spam all gone.
